My 80 Evolved

[FloridaFJ80]

Very nice rig! A Lexus without factory running boards?

I like the wheels...they give it a classy, more modern look.

Thats what I said when I picked it up. it had no running boards and no roof rack and no rear spoiler. This one was the poverty pack for a LX.

Did you use spacers with those wheels? Any tire clearance issues?

I didn't use any spacers whatsoever, I even bought 1.25" spacers and they are still in the box. Didnt need them. They are for sale if anyone wants them.

As for tire clearance issues, I havent had any issues yet. I havent flexed the truck at all.

Nice looking truck!
Did you remove the OEM roof rack? if so, how did you tap the holes?

BUY THIS MAN A

Probably one of the best 80's I've seen, the wheels make the 80 look different from the normal set up (35's on stock wheels). How is the ride with the 4 inch lift?

It really is an awesome rig.

I got the chance to see it in person yesterday, and its a BEAST.

I'm not sure I'll be going that high with the suspension anymore!

Some new updates:

Since I had already upgraded my leather seats, and me being OCD like any other mudder on here, where we replace everything. I took on the task of replacing the carpet with OEM Toyota. I also FatMatted the whole vehicle to reduce noise from the 35's and heat coming from below. Only did floor, doors and rear side panels.

Next updates:

New sounds system and Navigation
Sliders

Here are some pics of the updates:

I'm beginning to think this is true.

I'm worried about you, man.

Hard to tell, but did you repaint the fend and door molding or remove it? Or is my eye sight just bad and it's still two tone black and silver.

I did repaint the rear drivers side quarter panel flare as well as the front hood. It still is two tone black and grey.

Today, I took apart the upper intake plenum, to remove the injectors and send them out to RC Engineering for cleaning. I also installed my new Optima yellow top D27 battery. Everything went well so far. I also removed the Valve cover to install a new valve cover gasket and the rings that prevent oil from coming into the spark plug shafts. Dont remember what they are called. Took advantage of the cover being off to repaint the old worn cover toyota red with a rattle can.
